Tips for Chanting a Million Daimoku! Join Us and WIN in your Life!

I'm receiving so many emails from those of you who are joining this WorldWide Million Daimoku Campaign! It is not too late to join! You can chant as much as you can every day. I am chanting at least 2 hours a day and my goal is to have chanted a million Daimoku (Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) by the end of the year. That works out to be 2 hours a day for me. But you can join us no matter what. The important thing is to have a chart - you can make your own with 300 spaces (each equals an hour of chanting) and write your goals. You can end your campaign whenever you want. That's it! If you want to join the Campaign send me an email at chantforhappiness@gmail.com and you can send a picture of yourself and let me know your goals if you wish. I am chanting for all of you but YOU are the Buddha and your prayers are the ones that will generate the breakthrough for you! Dream big! And set goals you will achieve by November 18th too!A reader wrote in and asked what to do about falling asleep while chanting. She said she works all day and is really trying to chant two hours a day. My answer is this: I don't know your exact schedule or each of your lives, I can only say that Buddhism is common sense, and your body does need to sleep. Chant as much as you can, and chant to have the kind of life where you can easily chant as much as you wish. In the meantime DO get enough sleep, and take care of what's important. Just make every Daimoku count to help you create the life you want to be living. And do tons of shakubuku! It's easy!Here's how:I chant to meet the people who most want to practice. I chant to meet the seekers, and those who are ready to get the Gohonzon. I know the rules are different in every country for getting Gohonzon - so I can't say much about the rules in your area for that...but I can say that every person you encourage to chant will change YOUR karma, and theirs, and the world. So be fearless, people want to hear about this practice. Send me your questions and I will do my best to answer. Sending my love to all my fellow Million Daimoku friends!

Welcome!

This blog is about Happiness.

Absolute Happiness.

Unshakable Happiness.

Welcome!

In my 33 years of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo (I fuse my life with the Mystic Law of cause and effect through sound vibration) I have faced and overcome many challenges. Heartbreak, job challenges, divorce, and in 2015 my 22 year old son took his life after battling schizophrenia for three years. And through it all, I chanted to turn poison into medicine and to be happy - so that I could show others the way to happiness.

These blog posts come from my heart, to show the power of this practice. I speak only for myself, and don't represent anyone but me. I write this for you.

Feel free to email me if you'd like ~ but I do not give Buddhist guidance by email. I suggest that you get to know your local SGI Buddhist leaders who will give you support.

I love to hear your success stories and may publish them along with your picture.

This lifetime is so precious - and the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is unique. The first person to chant these words was Nichiren Daishonin, a Buddhist reformer. You can find out more about him, and more about this practice at SGI-USA.org.

The important point is this:

We don't have to suffer painful austerities or be reborn for many lifetimes to bring forth our own Buddhahood and attain absolute unshakable happiness.We can attain it right here...right now...just as we are.

There's no accident that you are reading this blog at this time.

We are all Buddhas, and I am delighted to be sharing this journey with you.
